I have one of the PICProto Boards that Parallax sells and have lost the
sheet of paper that give the recomenned caps. specifically I need the
caps for C6 adn C5 for an XT osc. If anyone has these I would appreciate the
info.

John,

The paper from MicroEngineering Labs (the PICProto maker) recommends a
value of 5-22 pF. The Microchip data sheet (for 5x parts) recommends
values of 15-30 pF for C1 (connected to OSC1) and 15-300 pF for C2
(connected to OSC2). If you're running at 1 MHz, they recommend 15-30 pF
for both. At 4 MHz, they recommend 15 pF for both.

I acutally took those for granted to be the same as the data book so i
have those. What I was looking for is the electrolytic ones for the
regulator. C5 looks like a noise cap for the incoming V into the 7805 and
C6 maybe one off the reg. I remeber seeing it in a little box on the
sheet that came with in that was on the left side just below the
schematic of the board.

Sorry about that; that was pretty stupid. The info sheet recommends the
following caps when using a TO-220 7805:
